The Day After My Girlfriend Cheated on Me, My Female Friend Suddenly Started Seducing Me. ~The Protagonist’s Struggle Begins With a Revenge Drama~
I returned to the classroom after receiving a mysterious package from a passing student. It was a good idea to keep it for now, but since I received it without knowing what was inside, I couldn’t bring myself to look inside, so I just left it on my desk and stared at it.
…What’s inside? I’m curious, but there’s such a thing as privacy. Maybe it’s something he wants to hide. It’s not good to see after all. Yeah.
“…..”
I told myself I shouldn’t look at it, but it still bothers me. I can’t help it, my curiosity is out of control. My instinct is telling me to open the package in front of me. My hand naturally reaches for the package.
Little by little, I peel off the careful wrapping. And when I had just one more to go, the classroom door suddenly opened.
“Hey, you there !”
The student who came in gasping for breath was the one who had just pushed the package at me. He entered the classroom and slammed his hand on my desk.
“It was you, wasn’t it ! You stole Kaori’s slippers !”
“….Huh?”
I felt as if I had been doused with cold water and my thoughts were blown away. What is he talking about? What had he just said to me? My brain was going round and round in circles, unable to catch up with my understanding.
While I was frozen, the man opened the package. What came out of the package was a pair of slippers with Kaori’s name written on them. They were definitely hers.
“You hid them in a place like this…!”
I could see my classmates’ gazes were focused on me, wondering what all the fuss was about. My head began to spin in the midst of the skeptical stares that pierced through me. This package was given to me by the monk in front of me. And now this guy is trying to make out that I stole it from him. In other words, this guy is trying to pin the blame on me…?
(This damn monk…!)
“Hey, that was Kaori’s, wasn’t it? He stole it…”
“Seriously…Hiori kun, I didn’t know he was capable of such a thing…”
I can see that the trust in me is decreasing, regardless of whether it’s men or women. The suspicion I hear is the proof.
I would like to somehow clear up their suspicions, but if the first move is taken, no matter what I say later, it will only be an excuse. I’m not strong enough to overcome this situation by myself. What I can do…
“….Rei kun.”
Kaori, her eyebrows furrowed, comes up to me. Unfortunately, if I was seen by the person in question, there would be no place for me to escape.
“Don’t come near him, Kaori san ! This is the pervert who stole your shoes !”
(Which one of us is the pervert, you idiot? Just shut up…..”
“….You found them, didn’t you?”
“….Eh?”
“You said you would find it for me, Rei kun ! You really found it ! Thank you !”
I knew at that moment that this was a support from Kaori. Kaori believed me and sent help. I nodded my head in agreement.
“T-that’s impossible ! I mean, he wrapped it in a package like this…”
“Oh, what’s the fuss?”
Ruri san appeared in the classroom at a very good time, as if she had timed it perfectly. She must have really timed it well.
Ruri san made eye contact with Kaori as she stepped in between the two of us. Kaori seemed to notice and gave a small nod.
“Ah, you delivered them properly, Rei kun. I’m sure fans would have targeted Hiiragi san’s slippers, so I’m glad I wrapped them carefully and left them with you.”
Although the explanation was a little too detailed, Ruri san provided thorough support. It seemed like the suspicions about me were cleared because the top two in the class covered it.
The baldy looked flustered, as if his plans had gone awry. As if he was about to leave, Ruri san’s hand grabbed his shoulder as he turned his back.
“…..Can I talk to you for a second?”
“N-no, I…”
“Just come.”
Ruri san, with a quiet burning flame in her eyes, did not let the man go. Then I grabbed his shoulder as well. The man seemed to have decided that there was no escape, and heaved a sigh.
